echo $COLORTERMmousepad is not a terminal, it's a text editor. I have also xfce, and it works...

yes sorry, of course it is the xfce4 terminal, the evening got the better of me. Well for me after i put the password the screen flashes as if it would be opening a terminal window then crashing immediately.

Just tried this tool, I must I'm actually with Enlightenment DE, so it may obviously come from it... Anyway i just look for any log but I can't find any...? Where should I look for log or any info?About what it does (visually at least), it just does'nt want to stay on desktop, and appear almost 0.5 s then disapear as fast as it came...

Hope I can help in some way... We may have a look at this sometime, as I will not have much free times this days...Ciao and, BTW it looks like a nice tool!
